Robbie Neilson has delivered a positive injury update ahead of Hearts' clash with Rangers.
The capital club welcome the Light Blues to Tynecastle tomorrow night in a blockbuster midweek showdown under the lights. Gorgie will be rocking as a packed out crowd take in what should be a cracking 90 minutes of action. The Jambos played out a goalless draw last time out with Livingston with a number of changes made due to injury and a bug in the camp.
Michael Smith and James Hill should both be fine for Hearts returns in a major boost to the home side while Robert Snodgrass, Barrie McKay and Josh Ginnelly - who all missed out on a starting slot against David Martindale's side - are all fresh and available to face Rangers.

Neilson said: "We should have Michael back and James back. Michael twisted his ankle and James had his concussion protocols so hopefully they should be fine.
"Robert Snodgrass, Barrie McKay, Josh Ginnelly – all the ones who missed out on the starting line-up on Sunday will be available for Wednesday.”
Speaking about Cammy Devlin yesterday, he added; “He has a tight hamstring and he was keen to play on but we just felt that if it goes then he is out for six weeks. It was a precaution and hopefully it will settle down. We will see how he is for Wednesday.”
Michael Beale arrives at Tynecastle defending his unbeaten run as Rangers boss while Neilson's troops have also went on an extended period without tasting defeat.
The Light Blues trail league leaders Celtic by nine points and despite their excellent form of late, the relentless charge from Ange Postecoglou's side has meant they've been unable to claw any ground back in the race for the Premiership crown.
Hearts go into the contest seven points ahead of Livingston in the race for third spot.
